deed, he would make first clas
assistant foreman of the Foldin z
Room. The BEE next met a col>
ored employee who was asked
how the colored people were
treated? He said, using his own
language, that the colored EN-
ployes were more fairly treated
in the printing office under Mr..
Benedict, than any other Public
Printer that has ever bad charge of
the office. You certainly can get
justice said he, Mr.. Rededict
doesn't know any man by his
color. 1t is well known to the
BEE, that Mr.. Benedict has made
numerous colored appointments
in his Office, and be has endeav-
ored to give the colored employees
a fair show. One of the most
commendable acts of Mr.. Bene-
diets administration was to place
a gentleman at the East Capitol
street door. One who knows how
to treat all classes with respect.
Capt. Brian is still there and is
the same man that he was years
ago. He is one of the foremen
who treats all alike. Mr.. William
White, foreman of the Bindery,
and Nat Sardo, in the Press
Room, are among the old and re-
liable relics of former admins
trations, Mr.. Collins in the chef
clerks office, and Mr.. John Lark
comb still remain. MIR. Larcomb
is one Of the most honest and
reliable officials under the gov
ernment. There is one thing that
the BEE would like to see done,
and that is, to appoint some color
ed man foreman of one of the
sections in the printing depart
ment, and some promotions of
worthy colored ladies in the fold
ing room and bindery, which has
never been done before under a
republican administration. The
Public Printer is a fine man to
talk with, and one who knows
every employee in the departs
ment. He knows his business
aud it is to be hoped that he will
consider the suggestion made by
he BEE.

TO THE COLORED PRESS

In Washington, we have quite a
number of intelligent young men
and women-school teaches,
preachers, doctors, lawyers, tjourn
slists, printers, dress makers, mus
ic teachers and others, who are
seeking a field of usefulness, but
who do not exactly know where
their services are most needed
and appreciated, therefore We ask
that each editor will please take
an interest in this matter, and
publish In his paper every week
what class of labor is needed in
his locality, and the average wages
paid for that particular kind OF
labor which is in demand. In
this way the colored press may be
of great use to our people every
where, and save many a worthy
person from idleness and poverty.

accommodating Mr.. Joseph to a
sleeping birth. The ticket agent
at Atlanta, Ca, accepted $250.00
from Mr., Joseph, promising him TO
reserve a birth on the sleeper de-
parting for Cincinnati the next
day. When Mr.. Joseph called for

all been taken up. Col. w. s.
Pledger, who accompanied Mr..
Joseph to the depot, asked the a.
gent it this was not a refusal on
account of the color of the appli-
can't. The agent replied in the
most positive terms that it was
not; that the sleeper was crowded
and that he could not possibly
procure a birth for MIR. Joseph.
Before reaching Cincinnati,
Mr.. Joseph ascertained that the
sleeper on which he desired pas
sage had only three persons, and
consequently there was ample
room for more, contrary to the
representations made by the a.

Mr.. Joseph entered complaint a.
